2010 Blueridge BR-70T Tenor Guitar

Overview: Blueridge guitars remain popular instruments because they just sound so dang good. This one is the fanciest tenor they make and it's basically a reimagining of a Martin 0-28T tenor guitar into a beyond-style-40 version of the instrument. It's loud, full-sounding, handles like the real thing, and looks fantastic. It's awfully hard to find modern equivalents of Martin 0-size tenor guitars and Blueridge is really the only copycat brand I've found at the moment.

Interesting features: The open-center hexagon fretboard inlay is pretty slick, as-is all the pearl inlay at the top edge and soundhole. It has good materials throughout -- solid spruce in the top and solid Indian rosewood in the back and sides -- and the build, fit, and finish is all good-quality.

Repairs included: I just needed to give it a restring and setup. It's ready to go and playing spot-on.
